Joy-Ann Reid, also known as simply Joy Reid, is an American news anchor and political commentator who has built her career at MSNBC. However, as of February 2025, her MSNBC show The ReidOut is being removed from the network’s lineup, according to multiple outlets. Insiders revealed to Variety and Deadline that The Weekend anchors Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, and Michael Steele are expected to take over the 7 p.m. time slot.
